Chapter 2: The Escape
The next night the X5s pretended to fall asleep. As soon as the guards outside were narrowed down to 1 they got out of their beds silently.
Zack, who was in the lead, kicked open the door and quickly snapped the guard's neck. Eva who was behind him picked up one of the guard's gun, she then signaled for the others to follow her.
They crept silently down the dark hall. When they were almost to the door which they would escape through they met Lydecker and about 8 of his men. Lydecker was pointing a gun at Eva.
Eva in return was pointing her gun at Lydecker. She was about to pull the trigger when, for the first time in his life Lydecker was quicker than an X5. He pulled the trigger of the gun. Leaving Eva lying on the floor..dead.
Max who had been standing behind Eva fell into Zack's arms almost at once. She couldn't believe Lydecker would do such a thing. She knew he wanted them to train hard, but she couldn't believe he would kill one of them.
Looking up at Zack, Max saw him give the signal. Escape and Evade. They gave Lydecker one final look and plunged out the window.
The snow was cold, but they didn't feel it. They were used to it though. They always had to train outside, barefoot in the middle of winter.
When the group reached a set of trees they hid behind a humongous log. Zack then started giving orders.
They were to pair off. Tinga and Jondy, Krit and Syl, Brin and Zane, Ben and Matt, Kylie and Evan, and Zack and Max.
They all gave each other a final look, and then they were gone. The only people left were Max and Zack.
Zack looked at Max and pointed over to the perimeter fence just 50 feet away. She nodded and they took off. They both cleared the fence easily, but ran as fast as they could far away from the fence.
They ended up in a forest about 20 miles North of Manticore.
"Max?"
"Yeah Zack?"
"You know what we have to do."
"Yeah," she looked at him with tears in her eyes," but do we have to split up?"
"You know we do. I promise you though that I will come and find you as soon as I find all the others."
"But, that could take years!"
"I promise you that I will see you in less than a year." As he said this he reached up and touched her cheek, cupping it gently in his hands.
"Zack, I'm going to miss you."
"I'm going to miss you too, but I have to go. I'll see you around."
As he said this Zack turned and left.
